I’ve been trying out Soylent for the first time. I’m on Soylent 1.4 and I liked the texture/mouthfeel right away but didn’t like the default flavour – it tasted like what I imagine plain wheat tastes like. I tried mixing in peanut butter and honey (I know an apiarist) which was meh. I just blended 3 bananas into 1250 mL of Soylent and it tastes amazing. Not quite like a banana smoothie but like halfway there. So, right now, I am loving it! I am worried about eating like 4 bananas a day though. That can’t possibly be healthy, right?

4 bananas a day is probably a bit excessive. Too much potassium in your diet can lead to problems.

The reply from Waltster prompted me to do some further reading. Excessive potassium in the diet is only really a problem if you have other underlying conditions such as diabetes, kidney issues, or excessive cellular trauma. So you should be good to go with 4 bananas a day if everything else is alright!

For the first month or two I used 1 banana + 3-4 tbs peanut butter + 3-4 tbs sugar free chocolate syrup (splenda) in a blender it is if amazing. Something about pb + choco + banana that is just awesome. Every now and then I still mix up a bag that way, although for the past few months I’ve mostly be “doin’ it raw”.
